Dryer Vent Cleaning Experts

Join the Royal Court of Home Safety with The Lint King

For more than twenty years, The Lint King has kept Northern Illinois homes and businesses safe by cleaning, repairing and installing dryer vent systems. Our technicians are certified and use professional rotary brushes and high‑powered vacuums to remove lint, hair and pet fur from the entire vent run. We clean under the lint trap, inside the dryer airway and out to the exterior vent, then test the system to confirm proper airflow.

Why Dryer Vent Cleaning Matters

Clogged vents are a major fire risk. According to the National Fire Protection Association, U.S. fire departments respond to about 15,970 home fires involving clothes washers and dryers each year, causing an estimated 13 deaths, 440 injuries and $238 million in property damage. Clothes dryers account for 92 % of these fires, and failure to clean the vent is the leading factor. Regular cleaning keeps drying times under 60 minutes, lowers your utility bills and protects your dryer and clothing.

Comprehensive Services

Every service call begins with a thorough inspection of your vent system. We then dislodge and vacuum out lint and debris using a rotary brush. After cleaning, we reconnect the dryer, check the transition hose and exterior flaps, and test the machine’s performance. If we find damage or unsafe materials, we can replace plastic hose with UL‑approved dryer ductwork and install products like MagVent®, DryerFlex®, Deflecto® or Defender Hood® that improve airflow and reduce fire spread.

We also specialize in bird nest removal. Birds nesting in a dryer, bathroom or kitchen vent can block the duct and cause overheating; nest removal services range from $29 to $89, and we offer bird covers and flaps to prevent future nesting. Adding a cover requires monthly homeowner inspection to prevent lint buildup, and our team will explain the maintenance requirements.

Transparent Pricing and Guarantees

The Lint King offers some of the most competitive pricing in the region. Routine cleaning starts at $89 and typically ranges from $89–$189, depending on the vent’s height and location; more complex jobs rarely exceed $200. Additional costs apply for severe clogs, bird nests or duct repairs. We accept cash, checks and Visa or MasterCard (with a small surcharge), and we offer $10 coupons, senior and military discounts. All work is backed by a 90‑day customer‑satisfaction guarantee, and we send annual reminders so you never miss a cleaning.
